Chapter 2338: The Dragon Queen (2)
Yun Lintian was surprised by Long Xi’s otherworldly beauty. Her temperament was different from anyone he had met before. It was no wonder Long Qingxuan was so beautiful.
Long Xi’s gaze fell upon Yun Lintian, and a faint smile graced her lips. “So, you are the one my daughter has chosen,” she said, her voice soft yet resonant. “Welcome, Yun Lintian.”
Yun Lintian bowed respectfully. “It is an honor to meet you, Dragon Queen,” he said. Long Xi’s smile deepened. “There is no need for formalities,” she said. “You are family now.” Her gaze lingered on Yun Lintian’s face, and a flicker of recognition crossed her eyes. “I see the light of the Azure Dragon in your eyes,” she said, her voice filled with wonder. “You are indeed the one destined to inherit his legacy.”
Yun Lintian didn’t say anything but carefully observed Long Xi’s condition. It was true, as Long Xuan had said, her injury was more severe than the Dragon Ancestors’. It was a miracle that she could survive for so long.
“You are wise beyond your years, young one,” Long Xi continued. “And your heart is pure. I have no doubt that you will lead the Dragon God Clan to greatness.”
Yun Lintian bowed his head humbly. “I will do my best,” he said.
Long Xi’s smile faded, replaced by a look of concern. “But first,” she said, “we must address the matter at hand. The Void Creatures’ poison has ravaged my body, and my time is drawing near.”
Yun Lintian’s heart grew heavy. He wasn’t sure whether he could expel the abnormal energy from her body.
“Can you help her, Husband?” Long Qingxuan asked expectantly.
“Although I don’t know if I can completely cure our mother, recovering her vitality shouldn’t be a problem,” Yun Lintian said cautiously.
Long Xi’s eyes softened. “Your spirit is admirable, young one,” she said. “But the Void Creatures’ poison is unlike anything you have encountered before. It corrupts the very essence of one’s being, twisting it into a monstrous abomination.”
“May I?” Yun Lintian stepped forward and asked.
Long Xi smiled and raised her arm, allowing him to check her condition.
Yun Lintian reached out, his hand gently resting on Long Xi’s arm. As he channeled his divine energy, he felt a familiar sensation, a dark and insidious presence lurking beneath the surface.
It was the same energy he had sensed in the Dragon God Ancestors, a mixture of spatial distortion and the aura of death. It was the Void Creatures’ poison, slowly eating away at Long Xi’s life force.
Yun Lintian frowned deeply. It was as he had expected; the poison was deeply ingrained within her. It had completely become a part of her body.
Long Xi smiled sadly. “It is a heavy burden to bear,” she said. “But I will not give in. I will fight until my last breath.”
As she spoke, she looked at her daughter with love. She had yearned to see her for all this time and was glad that she had made the right decision to entrust Long Qingxuan to her husband back then.
Yun Lintian’s heart ached for her. He could see the pain and exhaustion in her eyes, the toll that the poison had taken on her body and spirit.
“Husband?” Long Qingxuan bit her lips. The usually calm and collected Dragon Princess was nowhere to be seen.
Yun Lintian took a deep breath and said, “I can try.”
“Go ahead. Don’t worry. I can still bear it,” Long Xi said softly.
Yun Lintian took a deep breath, his expression resolute. He gently took Long Xi’s hand, his palm radiating a warm, green light. It was the power of the Tree of Life, a potent force of healing and rejuvenation.
As the green light enveloped Long Xi’s hand, a subtle change occurred in her eyes. A flicker of surprise, then a hint of recognition. She gazed at Yun Lintian, her gaze piercing through his very soul.
Clearly, she had recognized the aura of the God of Life within his body.
Long Xi glanced at her daughter thoughtfully. She seemed to finally understand the intention behind her husband’s action back then. It turned out he knew all along that Long Qingxuan would get together with Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian closed his eyes, focusing his mind and spirit. He channeled the power of the Tree of Life, its essence flowing through him like a river of green light. He visualized the poison within Long Xi’s body, its dark tendrils clinging to her life force, slowly draining it away.
With a surge of willpower, Yun Lintian invoked the Great Law of Life, the fundamental principle that governed all living things. The green light intensified, its radiance illuminating the entire room.
The Spatial Wheel within Yun Lintian’s dantian spun rapidly, its intricate patterns glowing with an otherworldly light. It resonated with the Great Law of Life, amplifying its power and directing it towards Long Xi.
The green light penetrated Long Xi’s body, its warmth spreading through her veins. It clashed with the Void Creatures’ poison, a battle of opposing forces raging within her.
Long Xi’s body trembled, her face contorted in pain. The poison, sensing the threat to its existence, fought back with a vengeance. It lashed out, its dark tendrils twisting and writhing, attempting to repel the green light.
Yun Lintian gritted his teeth, his brow furrowed in concentration. He poured more of his divine energy into the healing process, his willpower unwavering.
The battle within Long Xi’s body intensified, a silent struggle between life and death. The green light and the dark poison clashed, their energies swirling and colliding, creating shockwaves that rippled through the room.
Long Qingxuan watched with bated breath, her heart pounding in her chest. Her hands clenched tightly, hoping for victory.
The struggle continued for what seemed like an eternity, but finally, the green light began to gain the upper hand. The dark tendrils of poison retreated, their grip on Long Xi’s life force
weakening.
Slowly but surely, the green light enveloped the poison, its warmth and radiance neutralizing its corrosive effects. The dark energy dissipated, its remnants fading into nothingness.s
Long Xi’s body relaxed, her breathing steadying. The pain in her eyes subsided, replaced by a look of peace and serenity.
Yun Lintian opened his eyes, his face pale and beads of sweat clinging to his forehead. The healing process had taken a tremendous toll on him, but he had succeeded. He had expelled the Void Creatures’ poison from Long Xi’s body.
Long Xi, her eyes filled with gratitude, reached out and gently caressed Yun Lintian’s cheek. “Thank you, my son,” she said, her voice filled with warmth and affection. “You have saved
my life.”
Yun Lintian smiled weakly. “It was my honor,” he said.
